Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the existence of weak singular Hermite-Einstein structures on homogeneous holomorphic vector bundles over rational homogeneous varieties. Using Cartan's highest weight theory, we establish an explicit algebraic criterion for a homogeneous vector bundle E{\bf{E}} to admit a topological splitting EE0L0{\bf{E}} \cong {\bf{E}}_{0} \otimes {\bf{L}}_{0}, where L0Pic(X){\bf{L}}_{0} \in {\rm{Pic}}(X) and c1(E0)=0c_{1}({\bf{E}}_{0}) = 0. When this condition is satisfied, the prescribed mean curvature equation completely decouples. By shifting the topological obstruction entirely to the line bundle L0{\bf{L}}_{0}, this splitting reduces the non-abelian prescribed mean curvature problem on E{\bf{E}} to Demailly's abelian theory of singular line bundle metrics. As a main application, we obtain a sufficient algebraic condition, expressed in terms of intersection numbers, under which an L2L^{2}-function can be realized as the mean curvature of a singular Hermitian structure on an irreducible homogeneous bundle. Ultimately, by overcoming the bounded curvature restrictions inherent to the classical Bando-Siu framework, this approach provides a robust mechanism to construct singular Hermitian structures accommodating prescribed singularities along analytic subvarieties.

Comments

38 pages, 1 figure. Substantially revised to focus strictly on the prescribed mean curvature problem. Preliminary results on geometric flows and Z-critical metrics were removed. The current version introduces a refined algebraic criterion to decouple the equation and new results on prescribing exact singularities on analytic subvarieties. Comments welcome!
